When I first picked up a metal detector, I thought the secret to success was buried treasure in every beep — and if I wasn’t digging silver, I was doing something wrong. In this episode, I’m breaking down five lessons I wish I had known from the start. From chasing gear upgrades to comparing myself to others, I made the same mistakes most beginners do. But the real treasure? Learning patience, trusting the process, and understanding that every “bad” hunt teaches you something.
I also share the story of one of my earliest finds — a simple mourning button that changed the way I looked at the hobby and helped me realize that history isn’t always flashy. It’s quiet. And sometimes, it’s hiding in the trash signals we’re tempted to skip.
Whether you’re new to detecting or need a mindset reset, this one’s for you.
